METHODS OF WORK.
Here, too, the convention itself has
spoken authoritatively. The first and
most prominent idea is organization. The
general management of the canvass is en-
| trusted to the state central committee
| This committee is composed of prominent
and useful citizens without reference to
race, party or religion, SO carefully dis
! tri0uted over the sta ce that no large sec
| ton IS without representation on it. If,
! however, any section has been overlook
ed or is unwisely or inadequately repre-
| scented a wise provision enables Us TO
make the necessary changes, which We
are ever ready to make on sufficient
proof of their necessity. Any man in the
| state can get hearing before the central
committee through the MEMBER repre-
senting mis- section or by q communication
addressed directly to the corresponding
secretary.
The next step in organization is the
every county should be organized and
put in communication with the central
committee. Some counties are already
organized. But as others may be waiting
suggestions from Us, we therefore advise
that the Pr0hibItionists of all counties
not now organized meet at their county
sites on Saturday, April 2 next, or as
early thereafter as p ssibIe, and perfect
their county organization.
While leaving the method Of Organiza-
ton to the wisdom of the several COuG-
ties, we suggest, where you have no
better plan, the following:
l. Let the county committee consist OF
one wisely selected man from each voting
precinct.
2. This man to be ex-officio chairman
of the Prohibition club il his precinct,
which club it is his business to organize
and to increase until the day OF the cleo
ton.
3. Let the county committee choose an
executive committee Of five resident in
the county site, or accessible to it, to
which will be committed the management
of the county canvass.
4. Let this executive committee put
itself in immediate connection with the
central committee, and keep US Continu-
ally posted on all matters.
This organization must precede all in
telligent canvass of the state. The i'm
pOrtance of it cannot be Overstated. We
must have in every county some one
clothed with the proper authority, to
whom we can address communications
and through whom the work can be car
ried on.
That there be no delay in this essential
work we now call on ali friends to the
cause throughout the state to help VigOr-
ousIy in this matter of organization. Es-
peCially do we urge every member of the
state central committee to give his per
sonal attention to this matter in all the
counties represented by him,
And now
